In the agreement with the Manhattan branch of the Department of
Justice, PokerStars will forfeit $547 million to the government
over three years. The payment will settle civil charges that the
company engaged in fraud to sidestep U.S. regulations on online
gambling.

The $184 million left over will be used to pay back balances owed
to foreign Full Tilt customers.

Additionally, the settlement includes a ban of PokerStars hiring
Full Tilt representatives, including many famous poker players.

The settlement with the Justice Department prevents
PokerStars from hiring on Raymond Bitar, Howard Lederer, Rafael
Furst, Chris Ferguson, and Nelson Burtnick – all Full Tilt
honchos who are either named in criminal indictments or civil
laundering cases related to the case.
